Gotcha. Now I understand. Apparently there are several individuals that use the Chaos Theory term for their own personal quests. Confusing at the least. Anyway, thanks for the lesson, and I do agree. Later, Trent

Sam, Further to your point on the tree and unloched carbon cycle that is creating chaos, a recent PBS TV report showed that although the earth's temperature has only risen 1° in the last 1000? years, since 1990, CO2 gases have increased dramatically. I am puzzled that there is never, or very

Hi Tony, Yes this site has become very much "Ruby" oriented, but that is fine as obviuosly the interest lies in that great little loco--and it is also price conscious -very important! The site also seems to encourage more NG fans in G or 16mm scale. I wish more of the 1/32 scale buffs would

Maybe when the prairies turn to dust again, and your grain crops fail you'd wish you'd listened to the tree huggers a little more closely. Clue: Read up on how Chaos Theory was developed by an American weatherman and you may start to get the idea Dan Pantages wrote: (just don't let the
